And yes, I’m referring to the tree-like pattern on the central panel of the design. The word is also connected to two very ancient concepts: “tree of life” and “tree of sin”. With the first one offering fruit of eternal life and happiness and the second – the forbidden fruit. This design is a next step in my explorative journey of the construction method I previously used in my [Bifurca vest] (pattern) and [Bifurca pullover] (pattern).   The pullover has a modular construction and consists of a rectangular central panel (worked in the round) and four sides, worked sideways from the central panel and joined at the underarms. Both back and front feature a V-neck opening, which is deeper on the front and options to adjust the both depths are provided. The sleeves and hem are worked top-down in the round. You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in this podcast episode on my YouTube channel. +[media title][3] **Sizes** The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished
